Assignment #1 A Holiday Memory



Christmas in St.Louis
One of my most memorable Christmases was when we went to St. Louis a couple of years ago. We spent the entire time sharing our Christmas spirit with our cousins and grandparents. On Christmas Eve we went ice skating in Forest Park, then we went to a restaurant called Blueberry Hill. When we got to our grandparent's house that night we left out beer and pretzels for "Santa". For Christmas, I got a new bike that magically floated down the chimney when I got back to Atlanta. It was an even more special Christmas because it was my cousin's third Christmas and their new dog's first. It was also my dog's first Christmas in St. Louis. It was a great memory because we got to be with our family and everyone was happy.
